C:\\Windows\explorer.exe
Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus
So I did a scan with Avast and the results showed:
File name:C:\\Windows\explorer.exe
Severity: High
Status: Threat:Win64:Dropper-Gen[Drp]
The recommmended action was move to chest but i got an error: specified file is read only (6009)
No idea what to do at this point, so looking for help. Thanks.
Case two:So I just booted up my pc and after logging in to the desktop its just black screen with just the mouse cursor.Explorer.exe is gone cant use the start menu, and all I can do is ctrl alt del to open the task manager and run tasks.When I try to open explorer.exe or control panel through the task manager I get an error (C:\Windows\explorer.exe Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus.)I scanned with Mbam and SAS and found nothing but when I quick scanned with Avast it found this:Win64:dropper-gen [Drp].
How harmful Win64:Dropper-Gen[Drp] is?
Here are the malicious tasks that Win64:Dropper-Gen[Drp] will do when it into the target computer.Win64:Dropper-Gen[Drp] may chisel up a backdoor in the infected PC without user’ permission and knowledge. Other kinds of computer virus will get the chance to invade into this compromised PC more easily with the help of Win64:Dropper-Gen[Drp].
